Hi,
i am working in my organization for more than 5.5yrs. After my resignation, when i asked them to provide me my experience letter, they refused to provide by saying they don't provide any kind of document on relieving. I am ready to pay even my 30days notice by giving my 30days salary but they still not ready to provide. i have my EPF, my gratuity, my 18days salary with them. But to join my new organization, i must have my experience certificate & relieving letter. What to do now? How can i convenience my new employer that i worked in my past company from such to such date. Plz help as my joining date is about to come. I have my last cheque copy and my resination letter copy. What else i can submit to ensure my presence in the last company. Can i ask my current manager to provide me my experience certificate.

Hi Prachi,
Your former Employer should provide the Experience and / Relieving Letter. But, some companies do accept the "Resignation Acceptance Letter". Please check with your new Employer if this is OK with them or no.
All the Best for your new role.

Dear Prachi
I can understand your anxiety. However, it is a fact that many companies do not provide any relieving or experience letter. At least your company is candid enough to admit it "they don't provide any relieving letter".
As rightly pointed out, some companies do accept the "Resignation Acceptance Letter" copy.
You can ask your manager/HOD/reporting officer to give you an experience certificate or a good reference.
Good companies do not act in a bureaucratic manner and should not insist on a relieving/experience letter, if you are able to explain it convincingly.
If at all necessary, then under the circumstances, any other documents like salary slips, promotion/appreciation letter etc. should serve the purpose of authenticating the fact.
Hope the company you intend to join does not believe in such pieces of worthless paper, and relies more on its ability & expertise to assess candidates.
Warm regards.

Thank you sir for your reply. Now my joining date has been postponed. On the basis of reference check, they would update the same.
If i ask my manager to give me my experience letter, would it serve the purpose? But then what would me my last day of employment for my manager as i resigned on 11th of this month but worked till 18th Oct? My manager is also listed in my reference detail.
But if relieving letter or experience certificate is mandatory for candidate's joining then why dont companies confirm the same in their recruitment procedure or before sending the offer letter? It would be my 2nd job, that's why i keen to know these procedures.
